I started testing dovecot for our next POP/IMAP server (nearing production state), and noticed that the Status: header is always added, with a value of 'O' or 'RO'. This happens in `lib-index/mbox/mbox-rewrite.c'. This does not seem to happen in the Maildir case.
Nor should it.
Is the Status: header really needed in every case? This breaks mutt which displays mails with a 'O' flag instead of 'N'.
Is mutt accessing the mail store directly, or via IMAP?
Well, I fixed it with a procmail rule, as these headers are undoubtedly needed with other MUAs.
Are you sure? If so, they are broken. RFC 2076 identifies the "Status:" header as non-standard. It's used for per-message storage of flags (which is done another way by dovecot with Maildir storage).
